[Verse 1]
Life is a game, God gave me good cards, I'm gambling, going all in
On the road to getting everything that I wanted, lost a lot of so-called friends
Chains jingling, got her wet like a pool, I'ma go ahead and dive in
Always rolling, they be looking at me like a fool when I tell 'em that I'm driving
Grab myself a cup, put a little batch in, sit back and watch the shit dissolve (Dissolve)
More money, more problems, but I got a lot of problems that money could solve
Riding with a stick, gotta get an eighty-five percent tint when I get a new car
Came up quick, had to watch who I'm with when they started lookin' at me like a star

[Pre-Chorus]
You should just focus on yourself, I don't know why you're worried about me
Speeding with no seatbelt, so high, I don't hear the beeps (Skrrt)
I like to move by myself, so I gotta keep a stick on me
My comments be full of hate, I'm just tryna fulfill my dreams

[Chorus]
I just hope you proud of me now
Hope you proud of me now
All you had to do was stay down
You should've stayed down
Look at this drip that I found
This brand I can barely pronounce
It's cool you didn't believe in me
I just hope that you proud of me now (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Every time that you see me, diamonds hittin' home runs, batter up
I'm up now, give a fuck about who they say is next up
I seen money turn friends to enemies, so I don't know who to trust
Bitch I worked hard, ten years for this shit, don't you dare try to write it off as luck (Yeah)
Did everything on my own, any time I had a problem, I figured it out
New rappers sound like my clones, you would swear it was me when they open they mouth
Lately, I feel like the bad bitches comin' every time that I'm steppin' out
Lately, I feel like the hottest currency in the world right now is the clout
All my real friends know if I ain't pickin' up my phone, probably 'cause I been high all day
A lot of people did a lot of things that they said they wouldn't do, now I'm startin' to lose my faith
Find out he a snitch, he ain't wanna do the time, when he got locked, started tellin' right away
I ain't comin' down, I ain't lonely at the top
When you look up, I hope you proud of me

[Pre-Chorus]
You should just focus on yourself, I don't know why you're worried about me (Don't worry about me)
Speeding with no seatbelt, so high, I don't hear the beeps (I don't hear the beep)
I like to move by myself, so I gotta keep a stick on me (Gotta keep a stick)
My comments be full of hate, I'm just tryna fulfill my dreams (My dreams)

[Chorus]
I just hope you proud of me now
Hope you proud of me now
All you had to do was stay down (Should've stayed down)
You should've stayed down (Yeah)
Look at this drip that I found
This brand I can barely pronounce (That drip, yeah)
It's cool you didn't believe in me
I just hope that you proud of me now

Navraj Singh Goraya (born November 3, 1989), popularly known as NAV, is an Indian-Canadian recording artist, record producer, and engineer from Rexdale, Ontario, Canada, a district of Toronto. His parents are both from the state of Punjab in India and are fluent in the Punjabi language; NAV himself is fluent in both English and Punjabi and practices the religion of Sikhism, the religion the majority of Punjabs practice.

Following in the footsteps of Canadian singer The Weeknd, the co-founder and leader of XO and a frequent collaborator of his, NAV has preferred to let his SoundCloud do the talking in the early stages of his career. Although going largely unnoticed at the time of its release, NAV’s first noteworthy production credit was in July 2015 when he helped co-produce Drake’s diss track towards Meek Mill, “Back to Back.”

After hearing a string of successful SoundCloud hits, including the self-produced “Myself,” in 2016, Amir “Cash” Esmailian,, the co-founder and manager of XO, reached out to NAV, giving him an opportunity to expand from the revolutionary music platform. NAV has grabbed numerous features since linking up with The Weeknd and the rest of XO, consisting of Belly, 88GLAM, and Black Atlass. His first and arguably most recognizable feature (which he also solely produced) is Travis Scott’s September 2016 song, “beibs in the trap,” from Travis' sophomore studio album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight.
